The strategy is to 'Christianize' America by nose-under-the-tent methods. You say, it's only a little bitty nose, and why should we care if it's inside the tent? After all, it might not be attached to a very large camel. A few years ago, I believed that too. Not any more.
That proves nothing about the influence of CR. That just proves, at most, that it has an influential backer. But in order for CR itself to be influential, its ideas need to take root somewhere. And I don't see any way of it happening. Nor is there any major trend moving in that direction. The trend has been moving in the opposite direction.
To illustrate the point further, what if a Communist foundation was funding evolutionary teaching? Would you then disavow evolution? Would you at that point conclude that it's nothing more than a vehicle for the imposition of a Communist dictatorship? Of course not. They're still two separate things. As it is with ID and CR.
And the danger is all the lesser in that the CR people would need popular support to implement much its agenda, and it's just not going to get it. The Left, on the other hand, can accomplish much of its agenda throught the courts. A lot else can be done quietly through the soft operation of government policy, which is very convenient for the stealth imposition of socialism. But agendas like CR's can't be implemented through stealth, only through very overt action.
